In case of sale, check the sale invoices, Invoice No., party name, date, amount and check whether different components are correctly accounted for or not e.g basic sale amount, discount(if any), VAT/CST, amount of VAT/CS.Verify rate of VAT/CST applicable on different items.
If any sale is made against C form then ask the Management whether or not original C form has actually been received from customer..CST in that case should be 2%.VAT/CST Return should be examined and ascertain whether entity is filing returns on time or not and check for period of return applicable to the entity i.e monthly,quarterly annualy etc.(depends on turnover). Check whether VAT/CST is deposited within time or not.
